The Proclamation did not compensate the owners, did not outlaw slavery, and did not grant citizenship to the ex-slaves (called freedmen). It made the eradication of slavery an explicit war goal, in addition to the goal of reuniting the Union.
1 Puppy mills are dog breeding operations that put profit over the health and well-being of the dogs.  Puppy mills may be large or small. They may be licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture or unlicensed.
Since the original intent of the search was to see if I could find purebred dogs without relying on puppy mills, I had to have a way to sort out whoâs who. Time to apply a short version of The Puppy Mill Test. I began to look for repeated phone numbers. 1  I didnât even get through the first column before I found 5 separate ads for 4 different breeds all with the same phone number. Four different breeds from the same location advertising dogs and puppies for sale at the same time in itself would be disturbing but not absolute proof of a puppy mill. The wording of the ads nailed the coffin: AKC Reg Adult Boxer Male for sale. Excellent stud has 6-7 puppies every time.
